Description hjs 2007-05-11 14:11:38 UTC 
TAR_EXLCUDE feature (tg_ext.mk) doesn't work on solaris when using non-gnu tar
command as the --exclude switch is unknown.
workaround used to get afms/makefile.mk going...
Comment 1 hjs 2007-06-12 15:25:33 UTC 
even with -X (exclude from file) there is no common syntax between solaris and
gnu tar:

gnu tar
tar -X excludes -xf Adobe-Core35_AFMs-314.tar

solaris
tar -xXf excludes Adobe-Core35_AFMs-314.tar

as the tar command used on a solaris system may also be a gnu one, detecting
which type of tar is present seems to be mandatory.

making gnu tar a prerequisite obsoletes this issue
